We’re excited to announce that Sensu 2.0 Beta is now publicly available for testing! Sensu 2.0 is easier to install and operate, requiring only a single sensu-backend process and sensu-agent process that communicate directly with each other. Our new API-driven approach gives you more flexibility when integrating Sensu into your existing infrastructure and tools. We believe this newest release is built to scale and meet the needs not only of your infrastructure today, but for years to come.

Born to be wild. We’ve been busy with bringing Elasticstack integration into full shape with the Icinga 2 feature and the corresponding Icinga Web 2 module. Both of them were thankfully funded and sponsored by VW. Elasticsearch 6 support is sponsored by a customer too, this will hit 2.9 later in June. Earlier in 2017 we’ve also released the Logstash output for Icinga.

We’re happy to announce the release of Pinpoint v1.7.3.

WordPress may power the majority or the internet, but Joomla! is the second most popular CMS on the planet, representing 6.1% of all known CMS websites. So we felt it was important to integrate it directly into our external website security and vulnerability scanner. Sitting alongside special checks for WordPress, Drupal and SilverStripe websites, we scan potential issues with the core version of Joomla! and any plugins installed.

Today, we are excited to announce the beta release of Stackdriver Kubernetes Monitoring, which lets you observe Kubernetes in a comprehensive fashion, simplifying operations for both developers and operators.

April brought us new bugfix releases of Icinga 2 v2.8 and Icinga Web v2.5. Carsten released new versions for the Grafana module for Icinga Web 2.

It’s amazing. It’s brand new. Everyone needs it. It is “the next best thing”. Only half of these statements are true, it is not new and it is not the next best thing. It is branding an existing paradigm that many companies use and rely on—but—it is amazing and everyone should want it. If you’re new to the concept, what does observability really mean and how can it help transform your operations?
